>At the moment it seems that the internet is free, democratic and

>hands of governments. But others say the system isn't transparent or
>accountable enough.

>These critical issues will be debated in November 2005 at the World Summit
>on the Information Society. Journalists are all too aware of the
>importance of being able to freely access and exchange information. That's
>why the media has a responsibility to analyse and report on the politics
>of the internet.
